cantor could end up speaker. it's a dicey situation for boehner. >> that's why maybe if we go over the cliff and tax goes up on everybody and then they can vote in january to cut taxes on say 98% of people. that's sort of the reverse logic that the republicans will twist themselves into thinking that they've done something here, but either way taxes on the wealthy are going up. i think they finally understand that. >> the real issue is if i were boehner or mitch mcconnell, i would want to put this issue behind us as quickly as we can because we're going to move on to the gun control debate january, february, march. that's a very favorable issue for republicans. >> they wouldn't even go on tv to talk about it, but that's a separate issue. >> we're short on time. we're looking at sunday night the house coming back in presumably to vote on something. we don't know what. what's the timeline? are you expecting that the speaker is going to call the house back in sunday because they will have a deal in place by then? >>

eric cantor came out against that bill. john boehner sort of held his ground and didn't say anything. was trying to gauge his conference. after they talked to some leadership aides and they talked to other leaders throughout the conference, they went back at about 5:15 tonight. they spoke to their members and said we're going to give you a chance to vent by adding a spending cut amendment for $330 billion. but if you guys can't get the 217 votes on that, which will all be republican votes because not one democrat will support that, when they whipped it and are trying to get the 217 votes, if they can't get the votes, then the senate bill would go to the floor. it's very odd. a lot of people are asking if this has been the strategy and it's unlikely for them to get the 217 votes which it is, then why go through this? this is boehner's leadership style. he tries to let his conference vent, talk about their grievances. oftentimes it's embarrassing for them like it's been so far today. but they believe at the end when it's over

cantor. some democrats oppose the deal. in the senate, iowa democrat tom harkin was one of eight senators who voted against it. >> i am not saying everything this deal is bad. there are some good parts to this. but i repeat, i am concerned about this constant drift bit by bit, deal by deal toward more deficits, less job creation, more and fairness, less economic justice. a society where the gap goes wider between the few who have much in the many who have too little. so, mr. president, for these reasons, i must in good conscience vote no on this bill. >> despite passage of the deal, many in the u.s. was the tax increase after the expiration of the payroll tax cut enacted in 2011. when we come back from the break, we will be joined by a boston economist juliet schor. this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. back in a minute. ♪ [music break] >> "unsatisfied." this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman wit
